Fortress Tee

For the past little while I have been looking into ways to get some better quality screen printing supplies for cheap.  I found a couple of sources for the stuff to make the screens and today I got a couple of new colors of a higher quality ink.

The kind that I got is made for dark colored fabric.  My hope is that the white will show well on a black shirt.

I took some time today to mock up a screen for a game we play at camp called FORTRESS.  It is a great game you play in the dark.  I thought that this would be the perfect trial for the new stuff.  I found an old black undershirt and made a print!

The Verdict:  The new screen films that I got the other day are GREAT!!! Also the new Speedball ink is really nice too.  I still have to set the ink by ironing it and see if it fades.  I have a little adjustment I need to do to the design if I am going to make any more, and the the screen itself needed to be replaced and there are some splotches from that.  Overall I am really excited to screen some more shirts.
